Calvin Smith has unearthed a lie that has been in front of our eyes since primary school: most dead fish float; they don’t sink. Fossils are the result of rapid rock formations, and evolutionists know this. Now they have started to change their story and borrow from the creationist’s worldview.

I won’t watch them.
Me either, i can read faster than i am willing to watch.
except for that pesky “evening and morning” detail inserted at the turn of each and every new day...
then again maybe the almighty might have been spicing it up a bit with literary license and hyperbole....
moses must have editorialized... perhaps there were not really ten commandments either... just spit balling here.
maybe we don’t really sin and don’t need a savior either.
of course if the savior beleived the books of moses as factual history... then he really could not be who people say he is either.
I don’t consider it to be virtuous as a jew or christian to treat the books of God’s law as “fake news”.
Just wondering whether you are willing to concede the factual inerrancy of the Bible (more particularly, as canonized by Holy Mother Church).
Being that you appear to value facts.
Thumbs up!
No matter which side you stand on...this is funny!
LOL
The word translated as ‘day’ by the KJ guys, actually refers to an indefinite period of time. Could be a day, days, weeks, years, millennia or more.
Questions on the Day of Judgment:
If you were dead certain that I caused every word from Genesis 12 through the last word of Revelation to be exactly what I wanted it to be, why did you conclude that my comments on Genesis 1 to 11 were fuzzy?
Or, vice versa.
The Bible is either all fuzzy or all not-fuzzy.
I, myself, testified that “in the beginning, God MADE them (not evolved them) male and female.” My testimony in the undeniably true part of the Bible told you that I undeniably created them. Or, did you think I was being deceitful?
And, I even made sure that the word chosen as “day” in Genesis 1-3 was the same word later correctly understood to be a 24 hour day. This implied that the days of creation were 24 hour days.

On a related subject, are fossils easy to make or hard to make? If hard, why do we have so many of them. If easy, why don’t we find incremental skeletal fossils of animals as they evolved over the ages, say, little horse to big horse?
If we strictly follow the method of science and our theory is based ONLY on our observations, and our observation is that these intermediate incremental skeletal fossils are absent, then the ONLY SCIENTIFIC theory fitting these data is Evolution.Did.Not.Happen.
That would make the current theory a sham. Okay, not a sham, but a religion with a faith based on no evidence to clearly show that one species incrementally evolved to another species. And with so many incredibly close “species” what would constitute the definition of a species, anyway.
St. Jerome produced the Church-apprived Latin Vulgate version of Genesis in the fourth Century AD.
Consider this from Encyclopedia Britannica:
__________
Douai-Reims Bible
Roman Catholic Bible
Also known as: Reims-Douai Bible, Rheims-Douay Bible
...
Last Updated: Article History
“Douai-Reims Bible, also called Reims-Douai Bible, also spelled Douay-Rheims, English translation of the Latin Vulgate Bible produced by Roman Catholic scholars in exile from England at the English College in Douai (then in the Spanish Netherlands but later part of France). The New Testament translation was published in 1582 at Reims, where the English College had temporarily relocated in 1578. The Old Testament was translated shortly afterward but was not published until 1609–10, in Douai. The completed work was the only authorized Bible in English for Roman Catholics until the 20th century.”

Also from Brittanica:
__________
“King James Version (KJV), also called Authorized Version or King James Bible, English translation of the Bible, published in 1611 under the auspices of King James I of England.”
___________
For what it’s worth, Rheims published the Old Testament prior to the King James translators.
The word is definitely “day”. Hard to see that there’s any real debate here.
For reference:
__________
Douay-Rheims + Latin Vulgate
Book of Genesis
Chapter 1
1 In the beginning God created heaven, and earth.
In principio creavit Deus caelum et terram.
2 And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters.
Terra autem erat inanis et vacua, et tenebrae erant super faciem abyssi : et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas.
3 And God said: Be light made. And light was made.
Dixitque Deus : Fiat lux. Et facta est lux.
4 And God saw the light that it was good; and he divided the light from the darkness.
Et vidit Deus lucem quod esset bona : et divisit lucem a tenebris.
5 And he called the light Day, and the darkness Night; and there was evening and morning one day.
Appellavitque lucem Diem, et tenebras Noctem : factumque est vespere et mane, dies unus.
People believe what they want to believe.
Lol!! Good one.
I’m interested in fossils, having grown up fossil hunting in a area full of them, so this video was very interesting to me. I’ve seen lots of fossils of sea animals in mountain tops, which is amazing. We also have heard of fossils created during catastrophic meteor strikes as well.
